Pianist Awadagin Pratt joins Daniel Hope and New Century for this program of American works for strings that express the full range of orchestral color. Winner of the 2024 GRAMMY for best contemporary classical composition, Jessie Montgomery’s “Rounds” uses a delicate, interconnected language to evoke patterns found in nature. Similarly, composer David Diamond wrote his exuberant work “Rounds” to dispel the gloomy wartime mood of the 1940s by writing music to celebrate American landscapes. The program closes with Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium), an epic work for solo violin, strings and percussion inspired by the ancient Greek debate over love in its many forms.
